COMPETITION BY GAIL.

This for the Fsrst Time Forms tae
Basls of Argument Before the Inter
state Commission.
Washington, May A-The interstate
commission. has hitherto heard argu-
ments as to competition in the case of
water routes only. 1t 1s now engaged
IN hearing arguments as to competition
by rail. The Pittsburg & Lake. Erie,
which is some 250: miles longer than The
trunk lines, has made application TO the
commission to have the fourth section
suspended SO that it can maintain its
present rates from Pittsburg to New
York aud Boston, while, at the same
time il can charge different local
rates from points in the Mahonlng
Valley, which are in fact west OF Pitts
burg, but through which
the Pittsburg freight shipped by
this route must be carried. III this order
cannot be obtained from the
commission the Pittsbnrg & Lake Erie
will in the nature of things be compelled
to abandon Its through eastern business
from P%ittsburg, for it cannot compete
with the Pennsylvania for eastern bust
ness. The Pennsylvania road appeared
before the committee to-day for the first
time, it is believed, in q public manner,
to oppose the suspension of the long and
short haul clause from Pittshurg in
favor of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie.
The Pennsylvania has not joined in any
petition to the commission to suspend
the fourth section. 1t has been repeat.
eddy requested to do SO by southern
roads and southern commercial bodies
since the law went into effect. Its uni
form answer he's been that
it sent copies of the bill
to southern railroads and southern
merchants and pointed out the features
OF the proposed law which it believed
would be injurious to the south. bot the
south did not interest Itself to endeayoI
to defeat or modify the law, and all the
southern congressman voted for the pas.
sage of the law. 1t will not be the policy
OF the P~ennsylvan,s 10 interfere to pre-.
vent b enforcement of the law. This
road, on the contrary, urges the enforce
ment OF the section, and the rigid en-
forcement of it will, it is evident, in this
case, increases it's revenue. This is the
hret time the subject of competition be-
tween railroads has been brought
before the commission as a
reason why the fourth section
should be permanently suspended be-
tween certain points, and on this occas-
ion n of the great frank lines appears
to insist upon the enforcement Of the
section. The commission will take this
as IN fact.it will Dor take all matters
under advisement. No decision has
been reached with respect to the perma-
nsnt suspension of the fourth ~sectiou as
to any road. The commission has never
considered that subject as q body. Nc
proposition respecting it has ever been
submitted at any executive session of
the commission.

Mitchell, Dakota, special: Agar age
IN September the wife of a merchant
died and was buried in the cemetery
near town, having first been embalmed.
To-day the remains were disinterred fol-
shipment to New York state for final
burial. Six men attempted to raise the
coffin IN vain, and 1t took four more to
get 1t from the grave. An examination
was made, when it wss found that the
remains had ssesrined. retaining not only
the na.afal color but the features had
the solid appearance of marble, and were
unchanged. The body had been en-
closed in q zinc casket which, with the
embalming fluid, caused q chemical
operation with the result given.
